Interested in what is happening with Drupal Association membership? This is post two of two about our membership program. Here is a recap of 2014 performance.
The Drupal community is full of people who make the world a brighter place. This series is about the community members who participated in our 2015 membership drive. Meet Jingsheng Wang (skyredwang).
We’ve joined forces with several Drupal training companies to convince you that there is no better time to join the Drupal Association. And if you are already a member, here is a great reason to encourage your Drupal friends to join: free training!
When we ask our members the biggest reason they join the Drupal Association, we've heard over and over again that our members do so because they want to support Drupal and the community.
Hi Drupal community, I’m Lizz Trudeau. Some of you already know me-- I have worked with many of you to answer questions about Association Membership in recent years. I am excited to tell you about my new role in the Drupal Association as the Customer Service Coordinator.
Drupal community members are supporters of the Drupal Association because they want to support the Drupal project and DA membership is an easy way to do so. When you join or renew, you get more than just good karma, and you give Drupal more than just member funds.
In 2012, the Drupal Association began an initiative to engage with Drupal camp organizers to create a channel of communication and also promotion of DA programs that help foster and support the Drupal community. This year, the DA connected with organizers around the world to spread the word about grants, scholarships, DrupalCons, Global Training Days, and DA membership as far as possible. Even the big Drupal balloon attended some sessions at DrupalCamp Atlanta this fall.
We plan to continue this collaboration and do even more for camp organizers in the coming year and I want to share some resources with you that are available right now for anyone who wants to organize a Drupal Camp. In addition, check out this list of 2012 camp sessions and slides. By compiling these links for you, I hope it helps you learn more about our active worldwide Drupal community and also see what other camps are doing.
In the DA Member survey this spring, community members answered the question What could/should the Drupal Association be doing (that it’s not currently doing) to build up memberships? Our survey respondents told us that it would be good to promote the Drupal Association and membership program better, and more frequently, than we’ve been doing.
